Benjamin Moore

Caribbean Teal

2123-20

Caribbean Teal is a dark blue-green with cool undertones and a muted gray cast. An LRV of 19.84 indicates low reflectance, so it will read deeper in lower light. It works on cabinetry, built-ins, or a single wall where a saturated cool tone is required.

Benjamin Moore White Dove or Manchester Tan help control contrast, while Palladian Blue keeps the palette analogous. Hale Navy or New London Burgundy provide stronger counterpoints.

Caribbean Teal in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
